In this week's episode, we celebrate Halloween by spotlighting the beautiful, mysterious, black-egg laying Cayuga duck. Lisa Steele joins us for a roundtable discussion to uncover the truth about feeding oats to poultry. We share some of the history of Candy Corn and Lisa's recipe as well, then we share some retail therapy with Purple Rain Lavender Farm.
